All sites will be by appointment only. Any person who arrives without an appointment, or who does not meet priority criteria, will be turned away. There are no walk-up registrations available. New locations include:

Free shuttles will run between the garage and the Peterson Event Center during the hours of operation. A parking lot with limited spots will also be available near the Peterson Event Center for those who drop off others for vaccination and wish to wait in their vehicle.

• • Central Baptist Church  |  2200 Wylie Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219
